That fast? I remember the few times I've tried to use news (96 was the last
time I tried IIRC - probably worse speeds now since the trafic has
increased on the Net), the speed was (on one ISP) less than 20 bytes/sec,
the other (ca 120 bytes/sec) started sending the postings it had gotten
from the day they sat the server up (I did try several programs). Needless
to say I don't use UseNet anymore.
